Antioxidant and antibacterial nanofiber films via electrospinning of ZIF-8-encapsulated nisin in PCL/chitosan matrices

Key Points

• Antioxidant and antibacterial properties were successfully integrated into nanofiber films.
• The films demonstrated effective activity against specific bacterial strains and oxidative stress.
• Electrospinning was used to encapsulate nisin and ZIF-8 in PCL/chitosan matrices, enhancing material performance.
• These findings suggest applications in food safety and health, while further validation is needed.
